First time corset buyer
Does anybody have recommendations for corsets? I've been wanting one for awhile and halloween feels like a good excuse to finally buy one. I know a good corset can be pretty pricey, but I'm willing to put down 50-200 if anybody can give some recs please 🙏🏽

Sternum pain with every corset ever
I’m not really a newbie, but I was sure which flair to use. I’ve tried on many corsets over the years (own three) and many of them cause a bruised like pain on the bottom of my sternum (xiphoid process area) during wear due to the busks pressing along the front. It’s usually a 50/50 chance of it happening when I wear them, but I’m wondering if this happens with anyone else as well. I’ve tried on different sizes, models, and brands as well and it’s pretty much the same. I think it might be a postural issue (in terms of breathing correctly/ribcage positioning/muscle strength), but I am curious to know if anyone else has had this issue as well as corsets aren’t really supposed to hurt

First Corset
I decided I wanted to try corsets as I am hyper mobile and can have issues with hyperextending my back.
I bought one from Lucy’s Corsetry as I heard they’re good quality and they were within my price range.
Please forgive the choice of shirt. It just came in and I was too excited.
Does anyone have any recommendations for doing the strings when overtly mobile? My shoulder blades tried to run away a few times when I was pulling.
Also is there a way to smooth out the fat that escaped over the top in the back? It doesn’t seem that bad but I’d like to be smooth.
I assume the fat that squishes at my lower tummy when I sit is unavoidable and likely why I can breathe comfortably.
All tips are appreciated!

Help how do i make a corset pattern from my duct tape bodice
Hello! I am a newish sewer but I am planning to get into corset making. I don't expect this to be perfect and I am all good with that. I followed a duct tape tutorial to get an exact of my torso. I am super unsure where to go from here though.
The site I followed for the duct tape idea said you can draft your own or find one online but I already made my own form so I guess I have to draft my own but I have no idea where boning should be or where the seams should be. Please let me know if there is a pattern/video/tutorial I should be following.
Thank you!!
